bobvoeh Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Wonder if that fits the EzQue rods that comes with the KK. http://cgi.ebay.com/PREMIUM-5-lb-COFFEE-ROASTER-DRUM-for-BBQ-roasting_W0QQitemZ380030976226QQihZ025QQcategoryZ57070QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
Firemonkey Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Where does one buy green coffee beans?!? I am more intrigued by the basket for other uses. I am thinking small veggies, shrimp, etc.
GregR Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Where does one buy green coffee beans?!? I get mine at www.sweetmarias.com but there are many sources online.
ThreeDJ16 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 I have something similar. But instead of making an entire separate unit, I just have a basket that fits in the EZQue cradle. Cheaper that way too. I use it for roasting peppers. -=Jasen=-
DavidS Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 GregR is correct about Sweetmaria's also a great source for information about home roasting and equipment. Another good source is http://burmancoffee.com/.
johnnyboy Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Not sure about "green"; but www.wholelattelove.com online has lots of beans/coffee for sale. That's where I purchase mine. Very customer friendly for answering questions, etc.

Very customer friendly for answering questions' date=' etc.[/quote'] I can vouch for them as well. I purchased my Espresso Machine and some accessories from them as well as several orders of coffee. Very friendly customer service. Good site too, they have a ton of instructional videos for using the different brands of equipment as well as technique.
MikeA Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I would not recommend using your very expensive KK to roast coffee. Coffee oils are insidious and will permeate everything, causing everything you cook thereafter to taste vaguely of coffee. Most people who use a bbq drum to roast will buy a cheap gas grill dedicated to coffee.

MikeA Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Now that I think about it, the KK wouldn't be ideally suited to coffee roasting. Some roasters want to extend the time between 1st and 2nd crack in order to develop flavors in the bean, this means a quick drop in temp that might be difficult with the thermal mass of the KK. I still want a KOmodo anyways.

ThreeDJ16 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Actually, how about just opening the lid? -=Jasen=-
